i think he's also right on boehner. boehner has been under tremendous personal pressure to cut a deal, and when the new congress sits on january 4th, i'm coming to you from virginia right now, and cantor is indeed the next up and he has a lean and hungry look. dennis: a lean and hungry look. if markets don't rally against expectations for the last week of december and into early january, does that mean that the markets are going to be in trouble, or would you basically say well, then buy in because eventually it is going to rally the way it usually does in the last week of december? >> well, the old stock market saw is if santa fails to call, the bears will roam on broad and wall. that also has a pretty high statistical probability. i'm not so sure it plays that way this time because of all the cross currents, because of the fiscal cliff, and i do think that the legislators will get together in the last hour or the first part february -- excuse me, first part of january and try and come to some kind of an agreement. tha

how does boehner come out of this? what kind of a deal can he put is not >> the statement we heard from the congressman calling his own people chuckleheads, shows that the president won. i argued a month ago this was never from the president perspective, never about fiscal issues. economic issues. he wants four years for his own agenda to enact. what to do? destroy them and fracture them, which he has done. this is clever tactically. insisting that the one thing that they had to agree to was increase in tax rates. if hoving only interested in fiscally balancing the budget he would have said i don't care how you get the money. but he insisted on rates not because there is an economic issue but a wi to have the house divided. call each other chuckleheads and a speaker who not deposed extremely weakened. this sets him up to have his way over republicans who are in a civil war in the house. >> boehner runs for re-election on third of january, too. stay right there. hold the thought. lightning round up next. friday night. w

that's the question john boehner, the speaker of the house has. listen to him. >> this week we made a good faith offer to avert the fiscal crisis and that offer included significant spending cuts and reforms and it included additional revenue. frankly, it was the balanced approach that the president has been asking for. now we need a response from the white house. we can't sit here and negotiate with ourselves. and if the president doesn't agree with our proposal and our outline, i think he's got an obligation to send one to the congress. a plan that can pass both chambers of congress. if you look at the plans that the white house has talked about thus far, they couldn't pass either house of the congress. >> brian: hasn't because it's been presented before. here is one thing the president i think is banking on because he's playing his cards and it's a strategic approach. he's saying if i can divide boehner and the other house republicans, i could break this thing wide open and i could get what i need. and it turns out of all places, the "new york
